Just like that, I became one of "those" people. You know, the ones who have special dietary needs and have to ask for special treatment. The ones who hold up the line and the waitress just a little bit longer asking questions about the food to make sure they can eat it. :)

I am happy I am becoming one ot "those" people at a time when it is easier and more accepted to ask for your food another way. Restaurants and Bed and Breakfast are more understanding and accomodating than they used to be. Last month, I had quite a few of "those" people. Some I knew about ahead of time. Some I did not know about until arrival.

As I was at an Inn that offered a sweet treat every day, it seemed like a good time to try out my new favorite Gluten-Free, No-added-Sugar cookie recipe on other Gluten Free people. I explained to each one that the only sweetness came from a bit of honey and some chopped dates. Both are natural, God-created sweetners.

Why did I explain, you ask? Because if the person is Gluten Free but they have not cut sugars back or out of their diet, they will likely waste my cookies. To me, that's not an option because those babies aren't cheap nor the ingredients easy to locate!

It was a blessing to see their faces excited about the cookies and even asking for the recipe! :)

Yum! Yum! All this talk is making me want to go pop a couple in the oven.

As you all know, it is not often that I get my picture taken while at a B&B...much less with breakfast and a guest! Chris and her husband have retired and are currently traveling throughout the states blogging as they go . We were blessed to have them stay with us in Montgomery for a taste of Alabama.

Their "taste" this particular morning was Scrambled Eggs & Spinach on Croissant with a Garlic Butter Cream Sauce & Asiago Cheese with a little tomato on top for a splash of color. The Garlic Butter Cream Sauce was a new recipe for me. It was a success! It set off the eggs to perfection!

Recipe: half a cup of heavy cream, 1 tsp of garlic & a pat of butter. Put all in a sauce pan on low and simmer until the rest of the food is ready. (~ 20 minutes) Stir occasionally to keep cream from burning. Strain the garlic and serve over the eggs. Top with Asiago Cheese.

Come on up to Baltimore and try some of Warren's delicious Baked Apple Crisp Pancakes! Yum! They are a new staple in my B&B On-the-Road Recipe book.For those of you who prefer to cook rather than to travel, here's the recipe. :)

Everyone has a kitchen tool that is, in their world, "a necessity." For me, this tool varies depending on whether I am at home cooking for myself or at a B&B cooking for others. Several of my B&B's make cookies for their guests on a daily or almost daily basis. After pinching off yet another batch of cookies by hand, I decided it was time to buy my own to "take with me when I go".

For those of you still pinching off or rolling those cookies by hand...or even using spoons and trying to make them even in size...It is time to buy a scoop! :)
